REL Midwest is providing a series of train-the-trainer workshops to build
the content knowledge, facilitation skills, and confidence of a cadre of trainers
who present KIDS data use workshop materials
to kindergarten teachers. The workshop introduces participants to best facilitation
practices; presents an overview of the promising practices for examining and interpreting
KIDS data; familiarizes participants with the KIDS workshop slide deck, annotated
agenda, and facilitation guide; and provides an opportunity for participants to
practice their facilitation of the KIDS data use workshop.

When you are ready to prepare to present the KIDS data Use workshop, download
the KIDS Data Use
Facilitator’s Guide [13,879 KB
]. This document contains overviews of each section of the KIDS data use workshop
and facilitation resources, including sample recruitment letters. Also included
are annotated agendas for three versions of the workshop depending on the time available
to facilitate.

Before presenting the workshop, choose which slide deck to use from the list
below depending on how much time you have, whether you have YouTube
access and/or can play videos in your workshop space, and whether any of your participants
require closed captioning. Note that the slide decks with embedded videos may take
10 minutes or more to download.

If you choose a version of the workshop with videos, you may also want to download
the video replacement
slide deck [1,751 KB
] in case you discover technological difficulties getting the video to play in the
workshop space. If that happens, you can switch to the KEA Video Replacement deck
in order to cover that content.
